Piazza Navona

This is the Piazza Navona in Rome, Italy. If anyone has read Dan Brown's Angels and Demons the fountain in the background with the obelisk is the Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi and it is one of the locations in the book. The church is the Church of Sant'Agnese in Agone. Shot in January, 2009.

Corinth

This is a shot of Corinth as seen from a set of ruins. This was the last site we visited in Greece and after 25 days of visiting ruins in Europe you start to forget what you are looking at. I remember Corinth because we actually tried to climb to the top. As you can tell, it was already pretty overcast, but up on the mountain it was actually raining. Combine that with worn cobblestones and winds strong enough to buffet me around, well it was pretty treacherous. I eventually turned back. I would've loved to have seen the view from the top, but at the time I was too tired and didn't want to risk bodily injury to myself or my camera. Oh well, that just gives me an excuse to go back. Shot in January, 2009.

Citadel of Mycanea

This is the Citadel of Mycanea in Greece. We really didn't do much here, so I don't have an awesome anecdote about the history of the place. It was just another site that we wandered through for an hour. We did adventure down a tunnel in the side of the hill. We thought it would go somewhere, but no, it was just dark, slippery, and a total dead-end. Shot in January, 2009.
